J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
There were a number of reassons. Ruediger Overmans describes how despite counting on 2 to 3 million prisoners of war in the first year of the war against Russia the Wehrmacht had made no meaningful provisions for this number of Soviet prisoners. Overwhelmingly the Russian prisoners of war were kept in the open air, much like German prisoners of war after 1945 by the Americans. There was no medical servicing to speak of so many Russian POWs perished through common diseases like dysentry and Typhus. There was a malnutrition due to food shortage, again like the German POWs experienced after 1945. This was exacerbated by the Backe Plan which sought to ensure that available food was provided to German soldiers in the first instance. There is a debate among historians whether this Backe Plan was just a rational plan for food distribution or an ideological infused plan to starve Soviet POWs, but this debate is not settled either way. Soviet POWs were also interned in regular concentration camps in Germany. Many were killed there, a small number in medical experiments. About 80000 Soviet prisoners of war were murdered for being Jews. In 2015 the German state decided to compensate the surviving Russian prisoners of war financially for their suffering. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriegsgefangene_des_Zweiten_Weltkrieges#cite_note-52 -

UK Considers Sending Prisoners to Estonia to Ease Overcrowding Crisis
No one seems to have read the report. Its one of a number of options being explored. It doesn't mean this is what is going to be done. Prisons could be built, but they take a long time to build. Assuming you will get the private sector to build them, rather than a mythical workforce of State Brickies, there is a long lead time isn: 1. Identifying sites; locals will need to be consulted, environmental risk assessments, security risk assessments. 2. Identify funding; the Home Office will need to fund the construction and manning of prisons, but do they do this within their existing budget, which means other programmes will have to be cut, or are they going to get an increase from the Treasury. Different rules apply to whether its a Capital project (building a prison) versus paying for a service. 3. Issuing calls for tender. There is a UK Procurement Act 2023 that repeals 350 EU Directive related requirements. Drawing up the requirements takes time. When we say a large prison, how large? What category of prisoners? How many screws? Scrutinizing submissions takes time, unless you want another COVID19 contracting debacle, with people like James Dyson or Richard Branson suddenly getting into the Justice Game. Takes years, from issuing the tenders, design/surveys, construction, acceptance, likely 5-10 years 4. Manning the Prisons. There is a shortage of Prison Officers going back at least 10 years. This is curious, as there should be the biggest pool of potential recruits for many a year. Traditionally, the police, fire service, prison service can rely on a pool of ex-services people, and in recent years, there should have been a pretty big pool of very experienced people available.. Even so, you don't take a guy off the street, stick him/her in a uniform, and send them into a prison riot. 4 out of 5 prisons have insufficience riot-trained officers. As for emptying prisons of foreigners, there are two approaches; 1. Secure the agreement of the receiving country; what they do with them, we don't care. Well we might if those convicts are people who are considered a threat to the UK 2. Don't secure an agreement. Just give them a one way ticket. Receiving countries might start to refuse flights from the UK, because we keep shoving thieves and murderers on the Ryan Air flights. A knock on of this is any foreigner wanting to go home for free just has to knock a grannie down in the street, thereby increasing the crime rate, because for foreigners, there is now no downside in committing crime. Realistically, the government needs to look at renting temporary accomodation, ie the oil industry crew barges that have previously been used for prison accomodation. These are readily available. eg the Safe Esperia was a floating accommodation barge for the offshore oil and gas industry. There was a whole fleet of them. Bibby Line brought it, renamed it Bibby Resolution. It was then chartered to the MOD to serve as floating troop accomodation in the Falklands. In 1988, it, and a sister ship, were sold to the New York Department of Corrections, as a temporary prison ship. It was closed in 1992, then sold off in 1994. In 1997, the Resolution was now HMP Weare in the UK, a temporary prison ship. It ran until 2006; turned out it was really expensive to run as a prison. Currently its in Nigeria, where it was towed to originally to serve as probably pretty grim oil industry crew accomodation. If you include people with one or both parents born in Ireland or Northern Ireland, then over 10% of the population is likely dual national, and thus cannot be rendered stateless by removal of British citizenship. This likely reflects in the prison population, ie about 10,000 people. If removal of foreign criminals is considered as a viable option, then this could also be considered. Its pretty dystopian though. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I withdrew cash from an ATM in the US using my Bangkok Bank ATM card. Since I was remitting money from Thailand abroad, does that reduce the basis for my accessible income? -

Allan Lichtman, the Nostradamus of U.S. presidential predictions has made his FINAL pick
The USA does not have open borders and does not have full price controls. The Democrat party does not propose open borders or full price controls. Price controls and open borders are not "communist". Price controls are warranted when there is an imperfect supply system and are used to prevent excessive profit taking when there are quasi monopolistic supply systems. Much of the cost control measures are state regulated. For example, rent increase controls, utility rate increases, insurance rates. The EU has open borders between member countries. Is Hungary or Poland communist? Price controls are not in themselves "communist". There are cost caps on some products such as insulin to prevent the small number of suppliers of a relatively inexpensive product from charging vulnerable people an inflated price. The manufacturer is still allowed a healthy profit. -

Schengen Visa Question
Not any more, to my experience and knowledge. Both when I has visitor visa for my girlfriend and later when she had tourist visa, she needed to show her own funds. There is a specific amount per day, depending on type of visa. You normally need to show ticket, insurance and accommodation details when the applicant picks up the visa; however, it might be slightly different rules from country to country. I can only speak for my Danish home country, where accommodation had to pre prepaid, if not private. In the latter case the host needs to provide further details upon request, which also extend the time for approval of visa.
